Um...I asked the tree surgeons on my street this AM to leave me some chipped wood on my driveway. When I returned -true to their word-there was a mountain of it even blocking my doorway :) It is down my driveway @6504. It was an old apple tree and pine tree trimmings, but I cannot guarentee that it is poison ivy free, so it wouldn't be appropriate for children's play area. It is very coarsely chopped (w/some sticks and leaves). I put it down underneath the deck where there is a muddy, shady area. I'd love to share it. Come help yourself. suzie _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
